Addicted to CSI

I am loving playing along with CSI at the moment.  Of course colour challenges are my fave but I love having to add the evidence and the testimony into it.
And to add some extra thinking to your page, CSI have teamed up with Once Upon a Sketch for the month of September so now there is a sketch too.

And some sneaks to show the yummy texture and details.
Don't you love the light bulb?
Mum gave me a couple and they were sitting beside my page and it just fitted in perfectly.

I solved my case by using the colour scheme of course, my evidence is in my mesh (gauze), leaves and misting and a bit of tone on tone too.  My testimony is in my scattered journaling.

I also used some craft wire to circle my photo as part of the circle element in the sketch.
This photo was taken last weekend when we spent the night in the city with the kids.  We stayed at a really nice hotel and it was so much fun showing them the city at night.  We often go in during the day but to see the city lights....they loved it.
So back to this pic, we were walking along Southbank with people passing by doing their "thing" and the kids just stopped to look at something, completely oblivious to the rush going on around them.

Thanks for calling in.  I hope you have a fab weekend.
We have a quiet one which will be just perfect as life has been a whirlwind lately.

I hear the washing machine just stopped so I had better go and hang the clothes out.....seeya.
